Abstract
An expandable display system for displaying small articles, such as jewelry, is disclosed which includes a plurality of similar modules or sections which can be combined and expanded to any desired length. Each section includes an upstanding vertical wall unit with an overhanging canopy suitably provided with lighting fixtures. Each of the upstanding wall units has a color-coded display portion thereon, and alternate units have showcases or display cabinets attached thereto. Each of the upstanding units is contemplated as being four foot in length with two-foot end units being provided, and by combining a plurality of units, a display assembly of any desired length in multiples of three can be provided. It is contemplated that an individual display assembly could be 16 feet, for example, and would thereby consist of three of the 4-foot upright units, with two of them having the display cases and the other two being without the cases and flanking the ones with display cases and having 2-foot end units at each end. Additional multiples can be achieved by simply joining adjacent display sections to each other.
